Students Present Research

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics is proud to have had a number of students participate in the Graduate and Undergraduate Research Symposiums. Students' research had a variety of focuses. While some undergraduates focused on their second majors such as physics, psychology, and chemistry, others had projects on pure math such as combinatorics. The 6 graduate student presenters were applied statistics students that used the skills developed from their classes to model real-world problems. Take a look at the photos of our students participating in the Weekend of Excellence.

Congratulations to all of the students that participated and their amazing research!
